Goal Based Professional Consulting

John D. McKearn

John D. McKearnWelcome to Goal Based Consulting

At Goal Based Consulting, we specialize in marketing and business development strategies designed specifically to reach and engage affluent clientele. Our work centers on helping professionals and firms grow their business through precise, targeted outreach and innovative service design.

Our company earns in two key ways. First, we receive direct compensation for creating specialized services and custom growth programs. Second, we earn referral or residual-based income—structures common across many industries—through carefully structured partnerships. These arrangements are always fully legal, industry-compliant, and ethically sound. We only engage in transactions that serve the best interests of the client and deliver significant value.

Referral-based earnings are a proven, performance-driven method used in many sectors to incentivize quality sales without financial risk to the business. By receiving compensation only when a sale occurs, businesses can expand their marketing reach with confidence. This model also enables meaningful introductions and client relationships that might never have happened otherwise. Residual compensation, often in the form of usage-based or recurring commissions, extends the benefit of value-driven transactions over time.

In select cases, we offer consulting services to help qualified professionals replicate our business model. These engagements are ideal for those who want to create additional income streams by offering high-value marketing and development services—either as a stand-alone business or as an expansion of their current work. For professionals who are already deeply connected within high-value networks, this model provides an elegant and scalable way to monetize existing relationships through value-first connections.

We are also actively engaged with entrepreneurs and business owners who are interested in developing franchisable businesses. From concept development to the facilitation of franchise sales, we support growth-minded individuals in building structured, sustainable ventures designed for expansion.

If you're a professional, consultant, or entrepreneur interested in scaling your impact, creating new income streams, or helping others grow while you grow, Goal Based Consulting may be an ideal fit.

Our founder's track record of success, along with powerful testimonials from respected business partners, demonstrates the depth and credibility behind everything we do. Explore what’s possible.

Build something with purpose. Grow with intention.

Client Testimonials

He seems to have a god given talent in creating an environment that brings out the best in people; motivating those within his organization to perform far beyond normal expectations. I wish he ran my company.

Former Business Partner

I've found him to be an extremely proficient and successful entrepreneur and business executive. John seems to have the rare combination of business vision and the management skill to successfully implement the vision. His entrepreneurial spirit and energy, coupled with his strategic vision and his motivated work force have proven to be a true recipe for success. The results speak for themselves-sales and profitability tripled in a little over 2 years. The success experienced at The Bramble Company was not a one time fluke or a lucky set of events going John's way. It was the result of the way that John McKearn does business-develop a corporate culture that is built on unleashing the talents of each and every employee, such that the activities that they perform result in superior service and value for all of your customers-all performed under a company vision which strives for excellence in all that you do. His entrepreneurial spirit and energy, coupled with his strategic vision and his motivated work force have proven to be a true recipe for success. I am personally grateful to have been apart of the experience and to watch the strategic vision of a high energy entrepreneur come alive.

Former CFO and currently CFO and Treasurer of a Healthcare company with annual revenues of nearly $500 million

As the Owner and Creative Director of ADX Creative, I worked with John, Dori and their team for over 10 years. During that time I found them to be among the best and most effective marketing professionals I have ever partnered with. They brought passion and a unique insight to the industry that carried through all aspects of their operations. I highly recommend them as business associates and greatly respect them as individuals.

Owner/Creative Director

How did a former psychotherapist, substance-abuse counselor, and hospital administrator wind up as the chief executive officer of one of the fastest-growing accent furniture companies in the country?...A renaissance blend of scholar, philosopher, historian, entrepreneur, counselor, civil libertarian, and would-be comedy writer McKearn's energy is palpable, positive, and apparently contagious.

In the work I do now, I think of John frequently. I think about how he taught me to learn by questioning. I have an I can do anything if I believe in it" attitude because John helped me to see that this is indeed true. As the Executive Director of a non-profit agency I am constantly looking for ways to meet new community needs. I credit John with helping me to see the possibilities, like putting on a new pair of glasses and being able to see what was somewhat distant and fuzzy, more clearly. It is difficult to convey the respect I have for John McKearn. He is a man of character. I trust him implicitly. I will always be grateful to him for his guidance and consider him a mentor.
